If you are a gamer you get excited whenever there is a movie made based off of one of your favorite video games. You also will have been let down over and over again for years and years. More to the point there was a heaping helping of big screen disappointment called Hitman from 2007. It was lackluster in every sense of the word. Fast forward to 2015 and Hitman: Agent 47 looks to rectify the franchise’s past.

This time around will pleasantly surprise movie goers in general. Hitman: Agent 47 is an entertaining action film. Rupert Friend plays the title role of Agent 47. He aptly embodies the ultimate assassin. His cold demeanor and muted expressions shine through in his performance. His voice is a little too light for me at times but, that’s just a minor complaint. Hannah Ware plays the enigmatic Katia. Her past is the key to the big mystery in the movie’s story. She handles playing off of Agent 47’s straight man. I mean by no means are they a comedy act but, her confused and scared young woman to his calculated and ready for anything killer works to me. Zachary Quinto of Heroes fame plays John Smith Agent 47’s rival. He’s essentially a newer version of 47 with a few improvements. Quinto isn’t bad as the psychotic badass that only wants to show 47 he’s better than him. The story isn’t all that amazing but it draws from some of the source material so that’s cool.

The action is where the movie shines. It’s awesome and the cast handles themselves well in all the required scenes. The hand to hand combat is good. The gunfights are spectacular and the car chases are awesome. You will enjoy yourself watching the explosions and bones crunching.

This movie is fun. Not Oscar worthy but, fun. It’s leaps and bounds better than the original and a decent place to start on a reboot of the series.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
